OH 9-13 1:30 to 4:00 Experience a home that tells a story, where remarkable history, old-world craftsmanship, and the Discovery Bay waterfront lifestyle come together in a residence unlike any other. The story begins beneath your feet with spectacular reclaimed old-growth South Carolina heart pine flooring throughout the home. Salvaged from a century-old residence and meticulously cleaned and remilled on-site during construction, this extraordinary wood is prized for its tight grain, rich amber tones, exceptional durability, and character that simply cannot be replicated today. That craftsmanship continues throughout with historic interior doors salvaged from a long-forgotten Oakland hotel, massive exposed beams sourced from an upstate New York dairy barn, extensive wainscoting, and custom cabinetry masterfully crafted from durable rock maple. Four individually unique, brick-lined fireplaces, equipped for both wood and gas, bring warmth and personality to the home. Each has its own distinctive character, including a rare tiger maple surround, elegant marble detailing, a fireplace in the luxurious primary suite, and an impressive oversized brick fireplace in the kitchen surrounded by custom rock maple cabinetry. A private elevator provides convenient access between levels, while outside, a historic brick driveway and sidewalk lead to a welcoming wraparound porch. The southern waterfront exposure fills the bay with beautiful sunlight throughout the day, while the back porch transitions into welcome shade by evening, creating a comfortable setting to relax, dine, and enjoy the waterfront without the intense late-day sun. A 40-foot U-dock and boat lift provide your own gateway to miles of Delta waterways. Additional features include a spacious walk-in attic offering exceptional storage, a 3-car garage, water softener, designated space and power for a trash compactor, and the home’s original architectural blueprints. This isn't simply a waterfront home, it’s a collection of history, craftsmanship, and irreplaceable materials thoughtfully brought together to create something truly one of a kind in Discovery Bay.

Set behind a private gated entrance along the scenic Marsh Creek corridor, this 14.6-acre ranch estate carries a Clayton address but sits at the crossroads of Clayton and Brentwood, roughly 15 minutes from both downtowns, with easy access to shopping, dining, and commute corridors in either direction. The property is built for those who want land with real purpose. Usable acreage supports horses, livestock, or hobby farming, while rolling hillside terrain frames sweeping views and delivers the kind of natural privacy subdivisions simply cannot replicate. The barn is ready for horses or animals of any kind, with equestrian trail access to Round Valley Regional Park right outside your gate, complemented by a detached garage and storage shed. Inside the main house, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a flexible 4th room ideal as a second primary suite welcome you with rich acacia wood floors, soaring ceilings, a coffered formal dining room, and an open-concept kitchen and family room wrapped in custom cabinetry. Solar panels offset the cost of running a property this size. A brand new approximately 1,200 sq ft ADU, 2BD/1.5BA, full kitchen, laundry hookups, never occupied, offers rental income or multigenerational living that's rare at any price. As the day winds down, this property reveals another side of itself. Soft exterior lighting illuminates brand new retaining walls, the hills go quiet, and the wildlife that calls this land home, deer, wild turkeys, and songbirds, remind you exactly why you made the move. This is the kind of stillness that's nearly impossible to find. Acreage · Horse property · Equestrian · Barn · ADU · Gated · Solar · Mt.
